How to Get Over Your Ex

If it feels like your ex walked out with your entire life and took everything with them, this episode is the reality check your brain desperately needs. We're breaking down what your ex actually took (and the list is a lot shorter than you think) and exposing the invisible gains you can't see yet because heartbreak has you zoomed in on the loss. You'll learn why the space they left behind isn't a void, it's raw, open territory that's now available for your next chapter. And I'll walk you through two questions and one action step that will show you, in real time, why you didn't lose everything… you gained room to build something better. If you're stuck in the narrative that they "took your life," this episode will give you back the power you thought you lost.

If your breakup feels overwhelming, impossible, or like you keep getting stuck in the same emotional loop, this episode will change the way you think about your "breakup problems." Most breakup suffering comes from low-quality breakup problems. The kind that feels justified and absorbing, but leads nowhere: Why isn't he texting me? Did he ever really love me? What if he moves on first? They feel important, but they keep you spinning, proving your pain instead of solving it. Dorothy shows you how to spot when you're caught in low-quality breakup problems, how to redefine them into high-quality breakup problems that actually move your life forward, and how to approach your breakup problem-solving with the same mindset you bring to challenges you want to solve. This episode will help you upgrade the questions you're asking so you can create solutions you're actually excited about. Reminder!
